This is an interesting idea, but python-dev is the wrong place. You should probably start with python-ideas, then move to c.l.python, then finally bring it up on python-3000. But in any event, it probably doesn't matter: it's too late. Although we have not released a beta, we are far along the alpha cycle and this is too big a change. Remember that Python 3.0 is scheduled to have final release in August. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection." --Butler Lampson _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
